Shaina Okalani

Shaina Okalani is a new yoga teacher having begun teaching in North Carolina in 2008 with the Triangle yoga studio Chapel Hill, under the tutelage of Lila Brown, Sommer and Paul Sobin. She then discovered John Friend, their master teacher, and founder of Anusara yoga. She delights in her own practice with the Marry Band. She traveled from Oregon to the Yoga Kula Berkeley California where she encountered master teachers Sianna Sherman, Noah Mazé and the philosophy Guru of Anusara Yoga, Douglas Brooks, in her second teacher training in 2009. She finished her B.A in International Studies at SOU 2011 and has returned to her teaching practice here at Inward Bound Wellness. A native Oregonian she is glad to be home and ready to share the virtues of her studentship. She is working to become certified in the Anusara school. Yoga became her choice healing modality since she discovered Anusara for herself in 2006. During her master student work as a Reiki teacher beginning in 2005 and work in alternative healing arts learned from our local Jonathan Goldman and community since 2000, she found a kindred modality in Anusara Yoga; therapy for the heart, mind and spirit.
